I know it wasn't the exact same "he's an impressive guy" "he's my dad/son/etc" wording but Owen does say in 2x08 when talking to Gabriel "the only reason anyone made it through the door is because of that brave officer right there *pointing to Carlos (who is so obviously with his boyfriend lmao love him)*... he's an impressive guy."

anon you are so fucking right for this. I mean you don't need me to preach to the choir I'm sure but Carlos. [insert] . Reyes. the man, the myth, the legend, the inappropriately attractive human being. how dare he walk this earth and curse us with his unfailing kindness and the depth of his love for tk and his dedication to do his job well and his ridiculous physique AND HIS DAMN COW EYES.

HE IS SO IMPRESSIVE.

Lets all spiral over it together shall we???? don't leave me here yearning by myself PLEASE.

I think tk said it best when he said:

He notices a secret lamp signal in his newly discovered lair and decides not to mention it to Kyle, even though they explore the rest of the lair together.

He goes back later, follows the lamp signal, bashes open his wall, and finds a funky piece of glass.

Being a hacker, he goes on the dark web to see if he can learn more about his funky glass, finds “a world of government conspiracies” which “all led back to” Jesse Manes. (I don’t even know what that means.) That’s convenient!

He follows his dad to his lair a few times. (How?)

He reconstructs one his dad’s discarded burner phones. (Is that how Jesse communicates with Cam?)

He calls his mom. (Wait, what? He’s still in communication with his mother? What’s that like? Doesn’t he have major abandonment issues? Are they close? Is this the first time they’ve spoken in years? WHAT DID SHE TELL HIM ABOUT JESSE AND ALIENS? And why didn’t she tell him years earlier?)
